Happy Birthday, Cary!

Dorothy, a little dog, and strong winds whisking things away... we just need a Tin Woodsman!

No Place Like Home For Airborne Chihuahua 8-Month-Old Tinker Bell Blown Away By Wind Gust Last Weekend, Found A Mile From Mich. Home WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich., April 28, 2009 (AP) Tinker Bell has been reunited with her blown-away owners after a 70 mph gust of wind picked up the six-pound Chihuahua and tossed her out of sight. Dorothy and Lavern Utley credit a pet psychic for guiding them to a wooded area nearly a mile from where 8-month-old Tinker Bell had been last seen. The brown long-haired dog was dirty and hungry but otherwise OK. The Utleys, of Rochester, had set up an outdoor display Saturday at a flea market in Oakland County's Waterford Township, 25 miles northwest of Detroit. Tinker Bell was standing on their platform trailer when she was flung into the air. Dorothy Utley tells The Detroit News that Tinker Bell was found Monday after speaking with the psychic. She says her cherished pet "just went wild" upon seeing her.

Happy Birthday, Joe!!

Alles gute, Niko!

If "Augie" is me, I'm not sure why you're directing that at me. If it's someone else, I don't know who you're referring to, sorry. I don't see anyone else you could mean though. And I"m not sure what your comment about the child not being from Canada means. Are you saying it's a Mexican child? Does that mean something? We've got 20 suspected cases here in my county currently. Many of them are children. Many are probably of Hispanic origin. All are American.

While this strain needs to be resolved, it's a drop in the bucket according to CNN.com. The regular flu has killed 13,000 people in the U.S. since January alone. And it kills roughly 36,000 annually in the U.S.

How come I can buy Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi in convenience stores but not grocery stores??

Totally random Stevie Wonder? And you work for Motown? What are the odds????

I don't like the sound of that - is Amazon starting to charge that on all CDs? Edit - there is no sign of the "sourcing fee" anymore, but the list price has bumped up to $17.98 to apparently include it without you seeing it.

I've Seen All Good People

They traded their first round pick to Detroit last year, for WR Roy Williams. And they had a 2nd rounder, but traded down after center Max Unger got drafted. I think the Cowboys had a poor draft this year, and don't see any of their picks being starters. Maybe a few years down the road.

For the Lions' sake, I hope Stafford turns out to be a real player. That's alot of money (6 yrs, $72M) for a QB who's never played a snap in the NFL.

The Spurs starters got pulled mid way through the 3rd quarter for lack of effort. Pop pretty much wrote the game off. I didn't see the game, but I'd guess the fans left after that (?), since it wasn't even a contest. Hope the Spurs come back with some energy for Game 4, or this thing's gonna be over.

Did any drummers explode?

I wonder if his big head scares JSngry.

I've seen a 2 disc Andorran (or something) set of Blakey's Cafe Bohemia recordings at my local Half Price bookstore, too.

Happy Birthday, Mark! Thank you for your kindness, as well as your wonderful photography!

Thought the Bulls were gonna pull out another one there in Boston, but its 1-1 now. And Tony Parker's on fire in the Spurs/Mavs game tonight - 19 points in the 1st quarter. They need a win to even this series up, or the Spurs are in trouble - they may be in trouble anyway though.

Wish I could see that, Mike! I've got commitments in Corpus this weekend, otherwise that would be awfully tempting.

Took a ton of pictures at the air show today, only to realize they pretty much look the same as the last bunch I posted on this site a couple of years ago LOL. It was a great day though, thanks again for all of the well wishes!

Thanks for the wishes! And pictures LOL! Going to have my favorite kind of day, spending it with my kiddos. The Blue Angels are in town, so we're heading out to the air show in a few minutes. Thanks to everyone here for making this my favorite online hang! And thanks to Jim for running things so well, too!

I think the Mavs will take this series. Without Ginobili, the Spurs just don't have enough to get there anymore I don't think.

I dunno. Championships over the past 10 years: Spurs (4): 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007 Lakers (3): 2000, 2001, 2002 Pistons (1): 2004 Heat (1): 2006 Celtics (1): 2008 If you don't wanna count the 1999 win, then the Spurs and Lakers are tied. But the Spurs titles have been more spread out over the decade than the Lakers, so an argument could be made that they've been more consistently good over the whole decade than the Lakers, who won theirs three years in a row, but not since 2002.
